The biological method mainly comprises the technical means of chemical adsorption, oxidation-reduction, chemical precipitation, flocculation-sedimentation, ion exchange and the like, and utilizes the strong physiological metabolism of cells in vivo to metabolize and convert part of organic matters into energy required by the cells or decompose stable, nontoxic and harmless substances. The method has good treatment effect, but has strict requirements on the environmental water quality and high cost.
The flocculation sedimentation method is a common treatment means in the current stage of sewage treatment, and utilizes a flocculating agent to destabilize and concentrate particles which are difficult to separate, and separate the particles by other modes. Due to the good effect and mature technology, the method is researched more, and the balance between the effect and the cost is realized mainly by optimizing and adjusting the flocculating agent. Polyacrylamide is a commonly used flocculant with many advantages over other agents.

When the solution becomes transparent viscous liquid, the cation degree of the detector is 40%.
In some embodiments, the mass ratio of monomer, cationic monomer, and initiator is 230: 70: 0.065, and wherein the initiator comprises a mass ratio of 3.7: 3.7: 2.6 of azobisisopropylimidazoline hydrochloride, azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride, and ammonium persulfate.

0.0012g of azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride (V044), 0.0012g of azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride (V50), and 0.0008g of ammonium persulfate were dissolved in 5mL of deionized water to prepare solution B. And (3) dropwise adding the prepared solution B into the solution A by using a peristaltic pump for about 30min, heating the water bath to 70 ℃ after dropwise adding, and reacting for 5 h. When the solution is changed into transparent viscous liquid, the cation degree of the detector is 30%.

Preferably, the mass ratio of the added deionized water to the monomers in the prepared solution A is 100: 25.
The curve of the viscosity-average molecular weight of the polymer emulsion changing with the mass concentration of the solution A is shown in FIG. 7, in the whole polymerization reaction process, the viscosity-average molecular weight of the polymer is firstly increased and then decreased with the mass concentration of the monomer A, and according to the principle of free radical polymerization, when the mass fraction of the monomer is lower, the polymerization rate is lower, the free radicals generated by the monomer are less, and the viscosity-average molecular weight is lower. The mass fraction of the monomer is too high, the polymerization rate is too fast due to more generated free radicals, the polymerization heat in a polymerization system is not easy to dissipate, the rapid temperature rise easily causes 'implosion', the molecular weight is too low, and therefore the optimal mass ratio of the monomer solution A is finally determined to be 100: 25.
And in the prepared solution B, the mass ratio of the added deionized water to the initiator is 100: 0.34.
The curve of the viscosity-average molecular weight of the polymer emulsion changing with the concentration of the initiating system B is shown in FIG. 8, the influence of the concentration of the initiating agent on the polymerization effect in the free radical polymerization reaction is relatively large, and the viscosity-average molecular weight of the polymer increases firstly and then decreases with the increase of the concentration of the initiating agent. When the concentration of the initiator is lower, the content of free radicals generated by the monomer for induced polymerization is relatively lower, the half-life period is short, and the induced factors cannot diffuse in time to form stable molecules and cannot initiate the monomer to generate free radicals for polymerization. When the concentration of the initiator is higher, the number of free radicals generated by induction is larger, and the polymerization heat is not easy to dissipate and is easy to 'implode' to influence the viscosity-average molecular weight of the product. Thus, the optimum mass concentration of A was finally determined to be 100: 0.34.
In this case, the copolymer prepared under the above conditions had a cationicity of 20%.
Then, according to the above-defined conditions, a copolymer sample was prepared in the laboratory and tested, 24g of AM, 6g of N, N-dimethyl-octadecyl allyl ammonium chloride, 1.8g of urea, and 0.5g of hexadecyl acrylate were sequentially added to a 250mL three-necked flask, dissolved in 67.7g of anhydrous sodium sulfate solution to prepare solution A, and the mixture was stirred at 200r/min for 30min under nitrogen blanket.
0.0012g of azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride (V044), 0.0012g of azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride (V50), and 0.0008g of ammonium persulfate were dissolved in 5mL of deionized water to prepare solution B. And (3) dropwise adding the prepared solution B into the solution A by using a peristaltic pump for about 30min, heating the water bath to 70 ℃ after dropwise adding, and reacting for 5 h. When the solution is changed into transparent viscous liquid, the cation degree of the detector is 30%.

in the formula:
Figure BDA0003562094770000122

The test method is to calculate the flow-out time of the solution and the flow-out time of the pure solvent by using an Ubbelohde viscometer.
b. Determination of degree of cationicity
The cationicity was determined by colloid titration. The dried cationic polyacrylamide (to the nearest 0.0001g) was weighed out on a weighing paper into a 250mL weighing bottle and 100mL of distilled water was added. After stirring until dissolved, the pH was adjusted, the t.b. indicator was added and titrated with the prepared standard solution. The titration end point is determined when the solution changes from blue to red-purple. At least three parallel groups are made, and the average consumed volume is recorded as V1(ii) a At the same time, a blank experiment was performed, and the volume of the consumed solution was recorded as V.
And the cationic degree calculation formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0003562094770000131
in the formula: a. themIs the cation degree of the solution; c is the solution molar concentration, mol/L; v is the volume of solution consumed during titration, V0The volume of solution consumed in the blank, mL; m is the mass of the sample, g; 207.5 is the relative molecular mass of the cationic segment, exemplified here by methacryloxyethylammonium chloride.
Zeta potential measurements were first performed on samples with different gradients of cationicity prepared in the above examples to reflect the stability of the polymer with different cationicity.
The sample was measured by a Zeta potential analyzer, and the specific structure is shown in FIG. 1, in which it can be seen that the Zeta potential value of the copolymer is increased with the increase of the cationic degree. According to the judgment of experience, when the Zeta potential value is higher than 30mV, the stability of the whole polymer can meet the basic requirement.
Then, molecular weight measurements were also performed on samples with cationicity of 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%, and the results are shown in fig. 2. It can be seen that when the cationicity is less than 40%, the whole curve tends to increase monotonically, especially in the range from 30% to 40%, the molecular weight increase is large and peaks around 40%, and at 50%, the molecular weight is significantly reduced. From the aspect of molecular weight, when the cationic degree is about 40%, the prepared cationic hydrophobic association type polyacrylamide flocculant has higher relative molecular weight and higher polymerization degree, so that 40-Y-PAM (polyacrylamide flocculant with the cationic degree of 40%) is selected as a preferable product.
Furthermore, in order to verify the treatment effect of the copolymer emulsions with different concentrations on substances in different sewage, different sewage treatment samples are prepared for corresponding treatment.
1000mL of pretreated sewage is weighed, mechanically stirred at the rotating speed of 300r/min, added with 0.1% of diluted prepared Y-PAM type polymer, and stirred for 20S. And pumping and filtering the prepared sample to ensure that the water completely passes through the filter membrane, and taking out the filter membrane loaded with the suspended matters. Specifically, the detection and analysis of suspended solid (TSS) in the solution are carried out according to the wastewater suspended matter standard GB/11901-89, and the result is shown in FIG. 3. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the suspended matter concentration content is kept in a significantly decreasing trend within the range of 0.1% to 0.4% by mass concentration. And when the mass concentration is higher than 0.4%, the reduction area of the suspended matter content is gentle, and when the mass concentration reaches 0.6%, the suspended matter concentration approaches 0, which indicates that the mass concentration range of 0.4% -0.6% belongs to the optimal cost control interval. Although the quality concentration is continuously increased, a better flocculation effect can be obtained, the promotion amplitude is smaller, and the input-output ratio is lower.
Then, 1000mL of pretreated sewage was measured, mechanically stirred at a rotation speed of 300r/min, added with 0.1% diluted Y-PAM type polymer, and stirred for 20S. The prepared sample is sucked and filtered, and the supernatant is taken to perform detection analysis on the total phosphorus in the treated water according to the national sewage treatment analysis GB/11893-89, and the result is shown in figure 4, wherein the content of P in the sewage is reduced along with the increase of the concentration of the polymer. When the concentration of the polymer is increased to 0.6 percent, the phosphorus content in the treated sewage can meet the national sewage quality analysis GB 8978-1996-Integrated wastewater discharge Standard. As described above, the economic efficiency is highest in the range of approximately 0.6%.
Then, the flocculation effect evaluation is carried out, and a polymer sample and polyaluminium chloride are prepared into a flocculant solution with the mass fraction of 1.0 per mill in a constant-temperature water bath kettle at the temperature of 30 ℃. Two parts of 2.0% kaolin suspension are placed in a 100mL plunger measuring cylinder, two flocculant solutions with set amounts are respectively added by a syringe, the plunger measuring cylinder is tightly plugged and is inverted up and down for 10 times, after standing for 5min, 70mL of supernatant is taken by a 25mL pipette, and the light transmittance is measured by a 722 grating spectrophotometer (the flocculation effect is represented by the light transmittance). The results are shown in FIG. 6, and the flocculation effect of 40-Y-PAM is obviously better than that of polyaluminium chloride under the same conditions. The molecular chain of the charged group is more stretched in the aqueous solution, which is beneficial to both electric neutralization and flocculation.
The above experimental mode is to perform effect verification or description of a preferable process on preferable results of the whole flocculant configuration fraction and the cation concentration, and the selection of the special monomer and the initiator adopted in the invention is also important for the product effect, so the experimental verification is performed in order to verify the selection specificity of the monomer and the initiator. The following table shows the polymerization and residual monomer parameters for different initiation systems using the methods disclosed in the above examples.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003562094770000151
It should be noted that the system belongs to a free radical polymerization reaction, and the growth rate of a molecular chain is closely related to the concentration of free radicals in the system. In order to obtain a polymer of high molecular weight, it is important to maintain a suitable concentration of free radicals in the polymerization system. Since the initiation system is an intermediate product of the polymerization of monomers by electron transfer, the polymerization rate is critical in determining the relative molecular weight of the product, which is free radical initiated polymerization. In the later stage of polymerization reaction, the concentration of the produced free radicals is greatly reduced, the chain termination reaction speed is increased quickly, and the delayed chain termination is a measure for effectively improving the relative molecular weight, so that a composite initiation system is adopted, the polymerization reaction is completed in a layered and segmented gradual initiation mode, the proper initiation system is determined by combining different activation energies of different types of initiators and different temperature conditions for releasing the produced free radicals, the polymerization reaction speed is controlled, the viscosity average molecular weight of a polymerization product can be effectively improved, and the polymerization is promoted. Therefore, a hierarchical initiation system consisting of ammonium persulfate, azodiisopropyl imidazoline hydrochloride and azodiisobutyl amidine hydrochloride is finally selected.
The effect of the unused cationic monomer on the adsorption effect of the subsequent flocculant is then different. The flocculation effect for different cationic monomer polymer systems in the same increase is shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0003562094770000161
The results show that for the polymer system of the cationic monomer, the smaller the carbon chain skeleton of the cationic monomer is not beneficial to flocculation, and the longer the carbon chain is, the more beneficial the flocculation is, so that N, N-dimethyl-octadecyl allyl ammonium chloride is selected as the cationic monomer in the research.
While different hydrophobic monomers mainly affect the flocculation effect during the flocculation process, this example was evaluated by the critical aggregation concentration CAC, and the results of the test by replacing the flocculation with several hydrophobic monomers commonly available on the market are shown in table 3.
TABLE 3
Figure BDA0003562094770000162
It can be seen from the table that for the conventional short chain selected hydrophobic monomers, there is no critical aggregation concentration CAC. The hydrophobic properties are slightly less hydrophobic than cetyl acrylate, so this study selects cetyl acrylate as the hydrophobic monomer.
Different salt solutions also had an effect on the polymerization performance of the polymerization system, and the results of the test by replacing different salt solutions are shown in Table 4.
TABLE 4
Figure BDA0003562094770000171
The table shows that different systems of monovalent salt and divalent salt are researched and compared, the divalent salt has higher charge cloud density and stronger electrostatic repulsion, has stronger compression effect on free radicals generated by polymerization, is easy to cause unstable polymerization of the system through sudden polymerization, and the sodium chloride system has good solubility but has difficultly controlled reaction rate. Therefore, an anhydrous sodium sulfate system is ultimately preferred as the dispersion system for the emulsion polymerization of this study.
Since the initiation temperature is also defined in this example, and this temperature is related to the change in molecular weight of the polymer emulsion, it needs to be verified. The temperature of the initiation system is shown in FIG. 9 as a function of the viscosity average molecular weight of the polymer emulsion. The graph shows that as the initiation temperature increases, the viscosity average molecular weight of the polymer emulsion increases and then decreases, ultimately determining an initiation temperature of 60 ℃. The reaction belongs to free radical polymerization, the initiation temperature of a system determines the rate of free radicals released by an initiator, the temperature is too low, and the rate of free radicals released by the initiator of the system is preferably low, so that the polymerization degree of a polymerization monomer is influenced; the system temperature is higher, the free radical releasing rate of the initiating system is too fast, and the system is easy to implode, so that the proper initiating system temperature has great influence on the viscosity average molecular weight of the polymer emulsion.
The curve of the emulsion polymerization time and the viscosity-average molecular weight is shown in fig. 10, for the polymerization reaction, incomplete polymerization is caused by too short reaction time, more residual monomers in the system affect the viscosity-average molecular weight of the product, and the reaction time is too long and consumes time and energy, and as can be seen from the results in fig. 10, the viscosity-average molecular force of the polymer emulsion tends to be stable after 3 hours of reaction, so 3 hours is selected as the optimal time for the polymerization reaction of the system.
